Free Books – iPhone, PHP, HTML/CSS, Gimp

I will start with a small disclaimer – most of these are used books. They’re in great condition, but they’re not brand new (except for the iPhone book). I’m in the process of clearing my shelves and decided that instead of dropping these off at the closest goodwill store or selling them on Amazon or eBay I should instead give them away here to my readers.

4. Beginning GIMP – this covers an older version of GIMP but I found it useful for getting started.

How to Enter?

All you need to do is write a comment telling me two things:

1. What book you want

2. What your favorite tutorial on this blog is

Due to postage costs I will only be giving these away to people residing in the U.S.

This giveaway is open for two weeks, at the end of which (May 19th) I will randomly pick the winners and announce them here. So drop me a comment with the two pieces of info mentioned above to enter the giveaway, or just to say hey 🙂

I want them all accept gimp because I don’t know what that is. I purchased the head first C# recently and have gotten through the first couple chapters because I want to get into more programing after my game programing class this semester which we used a lot of AS3. I heard C# is a good beginning to C++ then objective C. Practically I should have gotten head first Java or J query because its more practical for what I want to get into for $ which is web development ( btw you should have a head first amazon link) Head first is the best programing book for learning I have purchased so far and will prob stick them them for now on when I start a new language. After saying all of that I guess the Html / CSS would be the most useful to me.

The tutorial I visit the most are your Modx ones. It seems like the CMS I want to stick with after messing with WP for the past year. I like the fact that its easier for designers with the tag / template system but that has also shown me I don’t know squat about css like I should. Ug so much to learn with such a little brain but I love it

Thanks for playing guys, you each get the book you chose since not many people were interested. Scipio, Brendan and Jon, send me your mailing addresses via the contact form and I’ll put the books in the mail for you.
Marcio, I’m sorry I can’t mail internationally at the moment, but thanks for posting your comment 🙂

Are there any books left I would like html and css since I am taking the intro to website class at Kaplan. I don’t really have a fav tutorial site I have done some coding and I use the w3c site since it is the bible for coding for web pages.

There are some significant changes in Revo that will make most parts of this tutorial series not quite compatible. The underlying concepts may be the same in some ways, but you’ll find some syntax changes, and some different snippets. So it may be a good idea if working with Revo to take a look at the official docs – http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution20/Home so you can get a good idea of the differences
